Good album. Lo-fi blues/rock/folk.

this disappointed me. his other works are awesome, and I was hoping for more out of his Matador debut, but it left something to be desired. There's a handful of phenomenal tracks, but on the whole it's just way too drone-y and drags.

I fucking love "Freak Train," though. one of my favorites this year.

no, that's God Is Saying This To You, which came out in the Spring sometime, I think.

cool, I'll check it out

that and Constant Hitmaker (his best record), as well as any EP's under his name, are all worth checking out.

But I caught him live last August and he didn't really do it for me and as a result I have no interest in hearing this. Yet, I really liked Constant Hitmaker.

I have "God is Saying This to You" and "Childish Prodigy." Can't wait to see him at P-fork.

Missed this thread somehow. I've got the same two as J. Great stuff.

I don't think this song can be overhyped right now. So good.

I hate this guy's name, 'cause whenever I'm talking to somebody and they mention they like him, I get excited thinking they're talking about Kurt Weill.

Late to the show here but i think his newest album that came out this year is pretty goodand i caught him live last night and enjoyed it.

They did a really cool cover of Springsteen's Downbound Train.

I would like to hear that cover.

I definitely like what I've heard from this guy.

I don't know if I like his latest record. But God Is Saying This to You and Childish Prodigy are still terrific.

'Smoke Ring For My Halo' is my favorite of his and still my favorite '11 release

saw him w/ J Mascis last week and it was fab:

last song on that

I really like him on record but the one time I saw him live he sounded terrible. But I cut him slack because he was a last minute fill-in opening for the Black Keys and because he's from Philly.

yeah, to be fair... i saw him in the fall of '09 and wasn't all that impressed by his set, but the one last week was fab
